- The two homogeneous bars AB and BC are connected with a pin at B and placed between rough vertical walls. If the coefficient of static friction between each bar and the wall is 0.25, determine the largest angle 6 for which the assembly will remain at rest.arrow_forwardThe leather rein used to fasten the horse to the hitching rail weighs 3.5 oz per foot. The coefficient of static friction between the rail and the rein is 0.6. If a 34-lb force acting on the bridle is sufficient to restrain the horse, determine the smallest safe length L for the free end of the rein.arrow_forwardThe screw of the clamp has a square thread of pitch 0.16 in. and a mean diameter of 0.6 in. The coefficient of static friction between the threads is 0.4.

Compression springs between the clutch housing and the pressure plate provide the necessary pressure on the friction surface. The splines prevent the clutch plate from rotating relative to the output shaft.
